I have been looking through IndieHacker reported revenues for inspiration like this. What I found is a surprising number of ideas work and make $5k+ MRR and so not to get too hung up on the idea as long as it is feasible that people will pay for it.

For example someone is charging $30/m to convert PDF bank statements to CSV, and someone a similar price to effectively static site generate off a Google Sheet. It is all in how you sell it I guess! These are not trivial products but they are not things you need a team to build.

My thought is to build quick, get in front of people and then iterate on that feedback. Instead of building stealth then finding no one wants it.

Well done on this launch!

Thank you! I think you're so right and I used that spirit to launch Gumtrends. I was worried about the reaction of people (about bugs, the scraping, missing features) but I'm so happy I launched anyway.
